I have been in practice for over 20 years as an integrative psycho-therapeutic counsellor and have been a Clinical Supervisor for 15 years. I bring extensive experience, enthusiasm, and a client-focused approach to all my work. I have supported people with a wide range of mental health conditions in both NHS and third-sector settings, specializing in eating disorders and addictions. I have successfully worked with clients experiencing mild to moderate bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, and severe obesity, including online sessions via WhatsApp. I work with clients of all ages on issues such as depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, grief and loss, phobias, anger management, as well as behavioral changes like weight loss and smoking cessation. My approach is integrative, drawing on techniques including anxiety management, relaxation strategies, motivational methods, and evidence-based therapies tailored to each individual. I also supervise counsellors and therapists, particularly those working in palliative care and bereavement, building on my nine years as Head of Family Support at my local hospice. I completed an accredited psychological therapy diploma (January 2021) with the Association of Psychological Therapies, covering CBT (Cognitive Behaviour Therapy), DBT (Dialectical Behaviour Therapy), SFT (Solution-Focused Therapy), ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), and Motivational Interviewing—the five leading approaches in psychological therapy. Recently , I completed an accredited ADHD assessor course. I can carry out ADHD assessments and provide reports for employers or educational purposes. Please note that I do not provide definitive diagnoses or prescribe medication; any diagnostic confirmation or treatment decisions must be made by a clinical specialist. As a 24/7 carer for a family member, I work around their needs to ensure they are safe and supported. To provide the best possible care for my clients, I schedule half-hour gaps between appointments, which allows me to manage family responsibilities while remaining fully present and focused during sessions.
